Give Them A Chance |

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages. but the thousands of
little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work,
And what they do, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the fami-
ly of throat and nose and head and lung
distractions, all are bad. All ought to
be got rid of. There is just one sure way
to get rid of them. That is to take
Boschee's German Syrup, which any
druggist will sell you at rs cents bottle.
Even if everything else has failed you,
you may depend upon this for certain.

SO poets say,
And bringeth to the heart of man more
cheer
Than smiling May.
That was the offspring of the winter,
sweet,
An orphan thrown
Upon this world, this beautiful, complete,
A woman grown.
When May was with US scarce a little bird
Broke forth in song,
Now in the groves the feathered choir is
heard
The whole day long.
In May the buds began to deck the trees,
The flowers to shoot.
Now, floral riches beautify the leaves
And ripe's the fruit.
May was prophecy and nothing more
OF things to come
OF sweet September with its plenteous
And IS Harvest Home. -
To bud love's sweet rose bush had just
begun
In changeful May.
September sees the fower-the maiden
won.
The wedding day.
